Recommended: Conflict theory

Throughout the short story, “The Interlopers,” author Saki, creates a conflict between the two main characters, Ulrich Von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym, over who should get a piece land. If Ulrich and Georg would have fixed their friendship in the beginning they would not have had to worry about killing each other or where the other one was at all times on the property. Perhaps if the two friends would have fixed their problems it could have created more problems after the fact if they didn’t agree on different things. Finally if they would have made up earlier they could have been great friends and shared the land. In an attempt to fix their friendship they should have talked it out and resolved their problems sooner. The two enemies would

  • The Wonders Of The Invisible World Summary

    1775 Words  | 4 Pages

    Written in the late 17th century, “The Wonders of the Invisible World” by Cotton Mather is a timeless work in which he wrote against the presumed witchcraft that was taking place at Salem, Massachusetts. At the time, descendants of the puritans that arrived with the Massachusetts Bay Colony believed that Satan was real and he wandered this earth; therefore, the supernatural was part of everyday life. Prominent puritans believed God was the only thing protecting them. Puritans ascribed their losses and misfortune to external forces conspiring against them. It was only after the Salem witch trials began that the institution of religion and spectral evidence in the court system and government would begin to be dismantled. While there were a multitude

  • The Importance Of Alienation In The Arrival

    1008 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Arrival is a graphic novel, which was written to be a universal tale of immigrating to a new culture without knowing the language or having any prior connections. Illustrations constitute the entirety of the story, with no text in any real language and taking place in a made up culture, assuring that all readers would experience the character’s feeling of alienation in the same way. While the society the unnamed main character finds himself in is a fantasy, it is structured like a real one, with references to Ellis Island and a semi-modern immigration process. This book is similar to The Metamorphosis, as each of these stories focuses on one person whose situation has changed so drastically that simply taking care of himself and getting comfortable requires acclimation. For one, his body and preferences have changed, and the other, the world around him. Early on, both stories show their characters’ misplacement in their environment and then their adaptation by implying a simple task the character wishes to carry out, but showing how it has become more complicated, due to the disruption which has occurred. This is clearer in The

    In the book/play West Side Story, there are two gangs. The Jets and The Sharks. They didn’t like each other because they were fighting over land. I think that the two gangs could've gotten along better. My reasons I think that is that they could have just split the land in half. Also, The Sharks could’ve just gone and found a new, better piece of land or the two gangs could’ve had a competition to see who gets the land.

    Grace Pulpit once said “A friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out.” True friends will always be present and have your back regardless of the circumstances. Amir and Hassan share a unique relationship; they are friends, brothers, and enemies. Growing up together, Hassan always had Amir’s back, but Amir did not always have Hassan’s. This developed a friendship that was one-sided, but the boys still had a close bond regardless. Amir says “…we were kids who had learned to crawl together, and no history, ethnicity, society, or religion was going to change that…(25).” The relationship between the two boys is one that is difficult to fully comprehend. The bond they share is one that not many people get to experience. The boys are separated from each other after the Russian invasion, but it is Amir’s decisions later in life that show what Hassan truly meant to him. They share a relationship that had varying definitions, but in the end they both loved each other. Amir and Hassan share this diverse friendship because of Amir’s selfishness, jealousy, and cowardly actions.

  • Friendship in Oroonoko and Gulliver’s Travels

    1291 Words  | 3 Pages

    The word ‘friend’ often carries vague connotations and assumptions that have no real purpose to the meaning of the word that is important here. Within the boundaries of a true friendship, the superiority of one individual over another should never be outward nor should one individual benefit at the other’s expense; also, an individual should not claim ownership over the other within a relationship termed a friendship. A relationship where an individual contains more power over another and asserts this power cannot be defined a friendship regardless of how kind each individual is to the other. Through the account of an unnamed female, Aphra Behn outlines such a relationship within the narrative of Oroonoko and his encounters with other characters as a royal slave. One character in particular, Mr. Trefry, a plantation supervisor, takes a keen liking to Oroonoko and holds him up on a pedestal of excellence for all to see; however, his actions towards Oroonoko suggest that he sees him as a prize possession rather than a man of equal value. Trefry’s unwillingness and eventual failure to free Oroonoko from slavery insinuates that the relationship between the characters is not that of mutual respect and, consequently, cannot be defined as friendship. As Aristotle claims, there is no difference between a good friend and a friend for a “friend is one who will always try… to do what he takes to be good for you” (emphasized), which is a belief that, evidently, is important here (Aristotle Rhetoric I.1.5). In Jonathan Swift’s tale, Gulliver’s Travels, Part 2, Gulliver, again, meets a collective group of individuals who are of unequal size to him, but this time who are larger. Swift takes a satirical and more literal approach to the notion of ...
